This week I took a different approach to finding articles about leadership. I normally find most of the articles I share with you on Flipboard and Twitter. This week I limited myself to the blogs on Medium. I did this to introduce you to some of the different resources covering leadership related content.

"The secret to how to connect with influential people is simple: Ask them."So simple, but still we don't practice this very easy secret.

Here are some of favourite lessons from this blog:

Great leaders take time for reflection to ask themselves critical questions

Great leaders are in touch with their "inner most being"

Great leaders understand that "presence is being"

Great leaders embrace compassion and equanimity (I had to Google this word: mental calmness, composure, and evenness of temper, especially in a difficult situation.)
